I wrote time ago, on Panther (vers. 10.3) a Script to identify the day
(as string, like 'thursday') of futur or ancient dates (like '1400' or
'2030' as year)
Moving to Tiger i discover with disappointing that colons now, are
recognized not more as divisor signs, but the time string like
12:03:01 results as a single word, word 5 of --get (current date) as
text.
Before '12:03:01' was read as 'word 1= 12, word 2=03, word 3=01'
So, i ask if this is modificable, with a global or property? (commands
where i use rarely, yet to discover), at last, perhaps thru a plugin?
Because it is much more inconvenient to filter thru characters, as
thru words. :** |

Not sure I understand where your problem lies. This gets the current
seconds for me:
-- begin script
set today to the (current date) as text
return word 7 of today
-- end script

Only the time is supposed to be returned in "time string" (which is the
case in 10.4.11). If you really get "Jul" and "23" in the output of the
command above in Leopard, submit a bug report.

{"3", "19", "50", "PM"}
